In the Fighting Ring.

Boston, Nov. l6.-The Carney-MC-
Auliffe fight was planned to take place
at 8 O'Clock last evening at a suburban
resort about ten miles from Boston. The
chase OF the outside sporting men was
so close that the men and their hackers
were unable to shake them off and il be-
came necessary TO postpone the fight IN
til several hours later. Every sporting
man knew that 8 O'Clock was the hoHr
selected for the call of time and that it
would occur within few miles of Bos-
ton. The two principals, who have
been keeping In strict seolusiOn for
twenty-four hours, got away successful
ly at O'Clock p. IN. Captain Cook went
with Carney and Kennedy with Nc
Auliffe. When the lighters arrived at
the place first selected, it was found
that crowd was there in advance.
Then the managers sought to shift the
place and give the mob a thrOw-Otf,
and lively times ensued. Soon
arrangements were made to have the
battle in barn attached to the Atlantic
hotel, at Revere beach. Carney weighed
LIS pounds and McAuiiffe 1901
In the first round McAuliffe planted
blow under Carney's chin which sent
the Englishman TO the floor. Up to the
ninth round the ba tie seemed to be GO
ing all in McAuIifie's favor. He
fairly rained blows upon Carney's
eyes, jaw and ribs and the BritOn seem
ed to have become very angry, but re-
covering himself used more cautious
tactics. AT this point odds OF two to
had SO far shown himself to
be In as prime condition as
his antagonist, Notwithstanding his
recent illness. Carney, becoming des-
perate when the twelfth round opened,
made savage rush at McAulIfie who
met 1t with hard blow on the right eye
and followed it with a terrific right
handler on the bridge Of Csrney's nose,
which split that organ open and
caused blood to fly. A claim
OF first blood for McAullffe was
then allowed. Fighting after this was
heavy and both men were badly pun
ished. At the end of the 25th round
McAuliffe appeared some what winded
and Carney's friends claimed the fight,
which WAS not allowed. From the 25tn
to the And round Carney had some
thing the best Of it. In the 62nd round
McAulifie's left ear was cut open
The Goth round was marked by terrific
exchanges Of blows and both fought like
demons and stood the punishment like
butted McAuliffe In the breast with his
head and forced him to the floor. Nc
Abilities friends became excited and re-
peatedly called "foul," many Of Them
breaking into the ring. Quiet was re-
stored and fight went on, but in the
next round, McAuliffe's friends claimed
that Carney had kicked his antagonist
In the abdomen and again claimed
"foul." Great excitement ensued when
the claim was not allowed, but the bat
tie went on with the same fright
full smuggling, that had go far
characterized most OF the struggle.
In 74th and last round, after some heavy
exchanges the men clinched and both
fell to the floor with Carney on top.
The friends Of both parties rushed into
the ring each claiming the fight for
their man, and everybody exclsiming
foul" When the referee could be
heard, he declared, that as this
was & fight to q finish and
neither man had been knocked
out, he could not do otherwise
than postpone the fight to some other
time. Carney 10 the champion light
